MHAM Submission - Sierra Carr

Poem by Sierra Carr

I was told the bravest thing you can do is let someone hurt you and still talk beautifully about them But betrayal feels like being crushed like a soda can sounds like silent tearsSwallowing pills like tic tacs didn’t make the pain disappear I used to think I wasn’t meant for love Only for white walls and hospital beds, but To be alone I’d have to be my own home The bravest thing I can do now is still be loving Even when the world hurts me
